Friday Favorites

Happy happy Friday!!! It’s been a while since I’ve done a Friday Faves post, so I’m ready to share a few things with y’all!

one

First, I totally forgot about Shay from Mix and Match Mama’s Let’s Look linkup on Wednesday. While I posted about my WELLNESS goals this year, she was sharing her coffee bar. I didn’t start drinking coffee until I was 27 and I started with something sweet–a pumpkin spice latte!!! Now I can’t stomach drinking something so sweet.

These days I wake up and drink my light roast Nespresso pod and I use 1-2 TBS of Chobani vanilla creamer. I try to drink only one cup a day, but sometimes I drink one in the morning and one in the afternoon. It’s such a treat!

I got these IVL leggings for Christmas and I LOVE them! This is the 3rd pair I own and this color is definitely a favorite. I know it’s technically a cold weather color, but you’ll see me wearing these this summer, too haha!

I have this JCrew sweater in a few different colors. It’s so soft and washes so well! It’s actually been pretty cold here lately so they’ve all been on a rotation. I’m also wearing my favorite lip stain! It really stays on all day. My favorite color is #13 and it can be worn every day–this red that I’m wearing is always fun for a pop of color.

Need I say anymore?!?! I started watching this on December 27th and was finished by midnight the following night. SO GOOD!! I also read the book and didn’t think it was the best. I much preferred the things they changed in the show.

Yay for Friday! This has been a shorter week than I thought it would be haha. I was already out of school Monday and Tuesday due to Fall Break but Harrison was really sick, so I was also out of school Wednesday. Yesterday was my Monday and today is my Friday–can all work weeks be like that?! #askingforafriend

Today I’m sharing some FAVORITES with y’all!

I wrote Monday about riding 100 rides with Peloton! I didn’t realize how obsessed I would become with a piece of exercise equipment, but for someone who honestly doesn’t enjoy working out, I’m loving it! Last night after Harrison went to bed, I did the Hamilton-themed ride with Robin. Honestly, I had high hopes for it and it was not my favorite. I am obsessed with the musical, but Robin just isn’t my favorite instructor.

I know this can seem shallow and vain, but I REALLY miss wearing lipstick. I’m on the hunt for a stain that won’t spread all over my face during the day when I’m wearing a mask and one that won’t dry my lips out. Another blogger I follow says this is her favorite stain ever and that she wears it all the time, but it’s matte so I’m unsure. I’m thinking about buying it just to try it and I like the color My Type. Do y’all have any recommendations?

Shay Shull had a post up yesterday that I thought was so interesting. She did a Q&A post based on what she eats in a day. She’s extremely disciplined in her life, so I found this fascinating but also motivating?? I lack in discipline when it comes to eating and it’s something that I’m always fighting against. One thing I thought I should try is the fact that she eats on smaller plates so you can feel like she’s eating more. I’ve read about people doing this before so maybe I’ll give it a try. Snacking is my issue though and she says she only has one snack a day.

You know those TV shows that people say they can watch over and over–like Gilmore Girls or Greys? Mine is Suits LOL. After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got married, my mom and I started watching Suits, so by the time the newest season had come out, we were all caught up and ready to watch in real time. Aside from the fact that it has Meghan Markle (whom I LOVE), Suits is such a great show and written so well that I can watch it over and over. I love the legal drama and the fashion and once read an article about the costume designer and how she dressed each character. If you haven’t watched it, you must!!

I recently bought these bath crayons for Harrison to play with in the tub. I bought the actual crayons for him at Easter this year and then when I saw they created bath crayons, I knew I needed them, too. I love that these bath crayons (and regular ones!) are non-toxic. They are made from beeswax and dyed with food pigments, so I don’t have to freak out if Harrison puts one in his mouth–which he hasn’t tried YET. These are really easy to clean up, too!

I’ve got an appointment at the Apple Store this afternoon to get my phone screen fixed (hopefully) and Dustin and I will be going out to eat, too. I hope y’all have a great weekend!!
